The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of role strain towards the coping mechanisms of Filipino graduate students. The study objectives include identifying their most common roles, determining their level of role strain, determining which coping mechanisms they frequently use based on established quantitative scales. Lastly, this study also determines the impact of role strain towards coping mechanism. Data was collected from 322 graduate students enrolled at the University of the Philippines Los Baños Graduate School during the A.Y. 2022-2023. Results of the study found that Filipino graduate students occupy a multitude and diverse personal and professional roles and thus, are found to be experiencing a high level of role strain. The most frequent coping mechanism that they are problem-focused coping strategies, followed by emotion-focused coping strategies, lastly, by avoidant coping strategies. Pearson R Correlation found that role strain has a very weak positive relationship with problem-focused coping, very weak negative relationship with emotion-focused coping, and moderately strong negative relationship with avoidant coping. Regression analysis determined that role strain has a significant impact towards all three coping mechanisms at the p < 0.05 level.
